Bitcoin Comes to Northern BC! Now if I only had some Bitcoin
So, my brother sent me this article last night:
Northern B.C. gets its first bitcoin ATM as the value of cryptocurrency surges http://www.cbc.ca/1.4418371
and while I was initially dismissive because, amongst other things, I don’t have any Bitcoin and so little in the way of Satoshi, Steem and Gridcoin as to be laughable. I did become intrigued though as Northern British Columbia is a big place. HUGE.
Ginormous even.
If I lived on the east side of Northern BC, it would still be 2-3 days travel time to get to Northern BC’s only Bitcoin ATM. That’s because the ATM is located in Cowpucinnos Café in Cow Bay, Prince Rupert. I was going to ignore this but I’ve never been there. So I went:
It’s a cheesy name, I admit (great branding though) and I doubt I’ll pose with these ever:
This sign called out to me though:
But it is a nice joint and, while I don’t drink coffee, the wrap and hot chocolate were tasty:
And then there it is:
Beautiful.
They are also hosting a Bitcoin night coming up to teach anyone interested in it how to invest and use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
I will be there. Can’t wait!
I am by no means an expert in bitcoin or steemit and I am one of those southern BC dudes who live in a city.
I played around with bitcoin some years ago but somehow lost track of my wallet. I can see the coin but can't use them. So whatever you do keep track of your wallet.
I had some cash in Pay Pal and finally found a way to buy some bitcoin with that cash. Users in the following site will trade all kinds of things for bitcoin but will charge you for it.
I also signed up as an affiliate so I will profit a bit if you use this link or just search google for Paxful.
